    Colombia-based security firm develops bulletproof backpacks for children. The backpacks are designed to look like any other back-to-school gear, but are built to withstand the impact of a bullet. https://abcn.ws/2GU1FWc pic.twitter.com/gb45NIOKc6

        If only they would come up with pink frozen-themed Kevlar body armor for my 3 year old to wear to preschool. Wouldn't want to step on anyone's second amendment rights. #guncontrolnow

        You didn't, that is correct. But is seemed you are frustrated with this idea in your post. I understand being frustrated about no movement on the gun control front, but I hope we don't rain on ideas that are trying to help.

        I am frustrated, these other ideas while helpful and some honestly are great ideas; I think something about guns needs to be done as well. I mean if nothing changed when young children were killed it makes ppl a bit cynical, you know?

        As a mom whose own child was afraid of going to school because there wasn't a good enough place to hide during a lockdown, it's like what do you say to a child?

        A 5.56 round (AR15) will go through this like paper. It may stop pistol rounds, but even then the energy transfer would be devastating to a child's organs. This is no solution.

        Instead of readying our nation's children for war on their way to school, we could limit the availability and prominence of weapons of war in our society. Just a thought.

        As a teacher, I am horrified that we need to consider things like this. It’s depressing.

        Now the kids just have to wear their backpacks all day, just in case, & perhaps get a second one to wear on their chest. Wrap a third one around their head and they're good to go 😑

        Exactly. Just like the clear backpacks are a valid solution 🙄. Really? Kids have all TYPES of things in their backpacks that could conceal a weapon (books, clothes, pouches), clear backpack or not. Foolish and insulting.
